Description

Scarlet Street (Universal, 1945). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Fritz Lang masterfully directs this bleak film about an ordinary
man, Christopher Cross (Edward G. Robinson), who is in a loveless
marriage, and is lured into an affair when he meets a woman named
Kitty (Joan Bennett). Kitty manipulates Cross into embezzling money
from his employer in order to pay for her lavish lifestyle. When
Cross realizes he has been manipulated, he starts on a downward
spiral, ultimately leading to murder by the film's end, where he's
so haunted by guilt and remorse that he suffers a mental breakdown.
One of 1940s greatest film noirs. Prior to restoration, this
poster had fold wear with crossfold separations, there were some
small holes in the background area, creases on the top, bottom, and
along Bennett's legs, and a tear on the top border going into the
field. This very rare six sheet undoubtedly provides the best art
for any of the posters on this title. The images of Robinson and
Bennett are truly amazing! Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
